Those who knew him described him as a devoted husband, a loving father, and a gentle, steady presence who cared deeply for his family.

Jeff leaves behind his wife and their two young sons, Parker, born in 2011, and Dylan, born in 2015. As the family grapples with unimaginable grief, Laura’s sister, Ericka Meyer, launched a GoFundMe to help support Laura and the boys during this painful time. In her message, Meyer wrote about the emotional and financial challenges her sister now faces, especially since Jeff had recently started a new job and did not yet have life insurance. “No one should ever have to go through this,” she said, emphasizing Laura’s need for stability as she navigates life without her husband.
